The middle-of-the-road popu lists at their meeting in Nash ville, Term., last week form u lated a platform to be adopted by them in their State conven tions. This platform relegates frpp silver to a side issue and almost ignores it . Their hobby is now the "initiative and refer endum" form of government What they will next get up for a platform no one knows. It was first the Sub treasury and government ownership of rail roads etc., then the free silver nnd now thev launch out with the initiative and referendum. They do not seem to know what they want and care less. At the sale of the Raleigh Tribune, the defunct Republi can paper started last winter in Ilalelerh. the News- & Observer obtained the 'letter file by pur chase and has been publishing some of the letters it contained and they are quite interesting reading. They show that the paper was entirely under the control of the Southern Railroad - company and that some leading gold Democrats had stock in it The managers were in it evi clently for the M stuff" and from the letters published in the News & Observer it seemed they succeeded very well in pulling the ReDublican rioliticians and A -T stockholders. J. L. Graham, of Catawba county, who was selected by State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Hon. C. H. Me bane, to be his chief clerk, and who was some months ago charged with burning the house in which he lived, was tried last week at Newton. Through an error in the bill of indictment it failed to make the charge of ar son, consequently he was con victed of a misdemeanor and fined $300, He took an appeal. ivir. me oane asKea mm to re sign his clerkship which he did Monday. The Superintendent made a mistake in appointing him and then keeping him after the charge was brought. Governor Russell is after the railroad lease in earnest. He intends to make that the is sue in the State at the next elec tion, lie may be able to mako it an issue with his party, but the issue with Democrats and the white people of the State will be how to get rid of negro magistrates, negro county com missioners, negro county board of education and negro school comifiitteemen for white schools Tt .' Ill 1 . 1 luissen Knows wnat tne issue will be and he and his crowd are doing all they can to get the people wroujziit un over the lease question but it will not work with the intelligent class- es of white people when their uaugmers nave to go to a negro to be employed to teach school and then go to him to sign her voucher before she can be paid. .No the lease and all things else will be secondary to white su premacy. When you populists voted last fall with the Republicans did you think that you would have negro school committee men with as much power over the white schools as over the colored schools? No, you .did not think it, but now you have it. Why do you have it? Be cause you v.oted for men who were elected by the negro vote ana you helped the negroes to elect them, lhese men made the laws w h i c h m a d e these things possible. How would you feel if your daughter was teaching school and a negro ojiuui cuiiimiiitjcxiiim wus io . i , i :ii . , . walk into her school ' room and in a brusque and commanding manner request or order her to change her manner of teaching ! or to do some other act that he might suggest? Oh, well they won t do that ! you say. May be they wont but nevertheless they have the power to do these things and you helped to give them that power. WHAT IS .HE LAW?

If any person shall throw in-: to or leave expose inany pub lic square, street,! lane, alley, or open lot in any city, town, or village, or, in any public road in this State any mock orange or. other poisonous shrub, plant, tree, or, vegetable shall be guil ty of a crime. If any officer, agent, clerk, employe, or servant of any cor poration, firm, or copartnership, or any guardian, administrator, or executor shall embezzle or fraudulently convert to, his pwn use, or shall take, make way with, or secrete j with intent to embezzle or fraudulently con vert to his own use any money, goods etc1., belonging to any oth er person, corporation or estate which shall have come into his possession or under his care shall be guilty of felonyrand punishable as in cases of lar ceny. ,. If any person unless a licensed pharmacist shall j open or con duct, any pharmacy or More for retailing, dispensing, or com pounding medicines or poisons, or preparing physicians' pre scriptions, except under the' su pervision of a licensed pharma cist, shall be guilty of a crime. Any and all persons who shall, when intoxicated or oth erwise, wilfully interrupt or disturb any picnic, excursion party, school entertainment, po litical meeting, or an- meeting or other organization whatever lawfully and . peaceably held, either at, within or without the place; where such pic-nic, excur sion1 party, school entertain ment, political meeting, or any meeting or other organization is held, shall be guilty of a crime and fined or imprisoned in the discretion of the court. Any person who shall rob or destroy the nests of mocking birds, or who shall take any eggs from their rlests, or who shall lill any mocking birds, shall be fined not less than ten dollars and be guilty of a mis demeanor, i If any one, that is subject to taxation shall fail to give in their taxes,' or shall fail to pa' their taxes in full by the first day of September they shall be guilty of a crime, and subject to a. fine of five hundred dollars and imprisoned for six months. This last law is a standing wit ness to the intelligence of the last legislature, and we venture the assertion that not a member of that legislature that voted for this law, but what is the last person in their county to pay their taxes, and as to their in dividual debts, well they are not settled yet.

Quite an I array of mil road men and attorneys were in attendance, an oi wnora were against an increase of taxation and a reduction of freight anc - . . . . . . i -fT . . passenger rates, b setters . were read from Governor Russell, Judge Walter Clark and editor J osephus Daniels advocating an increase oi taxation and a re duction of freight and passen and giving statistic; the reasons therefor showing it seems to us that if the rates of fare were reduced the tax rate is sufficient. A lower rate of fare would give the roads more traffic and increase their receipts . A corporation should pay tax on its property at a fair and just valuation according to what private property pays ne commission nas tne power to assess the railroads at a valu ation as is reasonable and as near its true valuation as it can and when this is done the roads nor the people have any right iu kick. e nope me commis- i i -t i. sion will let the present valua tion stand and decrease the tar- iff rates.

No other college in the South has grown so rapidly in the past few years; as Trini ty. Six years ago it held prop erty valued at forty thousand dollars,' and to-day it holds property valued at four hun dred thousand dollars. It is apprecitaed among the leading colleges of the North as the pro gressive college of the South. In the faculty the following in stitutions of learning are repre sented : Trinity, Wofford, An napolis; and Weslevan colleges, and Johns Hopkins, (Harvard, Cornell, Leipsic, and Vander- bilt Universities. There are more Doctors of Philosophy in the faculty than in anv other i college faculty in the State. It is not surprising that the most modern methods of education are followed at 1 runty College. Duriner the nast year, one Jiun- dred and one thousand dollars were added to the endowment. Trinity Park has been greatly improved at the expenditure of thousands of dollars . A new Chair has been added to the School of English, thus making Trinity the leading- college of the State for the study of Eng lish language and Literature. Trinity is the bnly male literary college in the State that lis lo cated in a city; and it therefore puts its students in touchfwith wider influences and morejlead- ing questions than any other college in the State. It 'is an education in itself to associate with a wide circle of men. The advantage of attending a college m a city cannot be overesti mated. The. students I are brought in touch with the best cultural life and the most prom inent men of the day. The rep utation of the students of iTrin ity for Christian manliness is known far and near, and is the pride of the city of Durham in which the college is located . The Trustees at their recent meeting opened all the classes Ol.tlie college to women. ; llllS means much for the higher edu- , 1 i i ) - mi cation of our women.
